NASP created an Advocacy Roadmap for Promoting the NASP Practice Model which is intended to help state associations promote the model at the state level. Users of this guide are encouraged to review the contents of the roadmap for helpful suggestions for systems level promotion of the NASP Practice Model.

This section of the NASP Practice Model Implementation Guide is geared more towards an individual's advocacy at the building or district level. The eight advocacy steps below provide a broad landscape for evaluating advocacy needs and planning advocacy actions and should be considered as suggestions rather than a recipe for advocacy. Think creatively, broadly, and collaboratively with others in your school or district about how the materials in this section may be adapted for use in your individual setting.
